The MTG LI instrument is based on detecting short transient events against a dark night time or bright day time background. The detected events are registered by the LI instrument when something resembling a lightning signal has been detected. The triggered event can be a real lightning event or a false event. A false event is defined as a LI triggered event occurring in the absence of a lightning optical pulse, which may have a range of causes including spacecraft motion microvibrations, space environment particle transients protons, heavy ions, etc., electronics noise, thermo mechanical noise, and solar glint. The onground data processing for the LI instrument is split in 2 steps the Level 01b data processing from raw instrument data into geophysically calibrated data and the Level 12 data processing into data products for the LI data users groups, flashes, etc.. The Level 01b data processing includes various correction steps algorithms related to corrections for detector effects, electronic effects, radiometric effects, quality flagging aspects, as well as algorithms related to triggered event filtering flagging and Image Navigation and Registration INR geolocation.
